Computer Science 221 Programming Concepts and Problem Solving I (Effective Spring 2005)
Prerequisite:	Math 140
Catalog Description:	For computer science majors. Computer history, problem solving, algorithms, control structures, representation of data. Introductory programming in the C++ programming language.
Objectives:	The student will: 1) Acquire a fundamental understanding of how to solve problems in the C++ programming language. 2) Learn to solve problems using a top-down approach. 3) Learn to apply software engineering principles in design, coding, and testing of large programs. 4) Learn the representation of elementary data types and begin to study the specification of structured types as abstract data types before implementing and applying them. 5) Become aware of the importance of object-oriented methods in the design and implementation of abstract data types. 6) Learn to design, write, analyze, and code algorithms.
